The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks around Riviere de Galets.
Alright, so straight off the bat, the first few days are pretty ordinary. We’ve got a bit of swell in the water but the wind’s all wrong, making it a messy cross-shore chop. It’s not a great time to paddle out. Things are pretty flat for quality until the weekend after next, so there’s a bit of a gap there. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
Now, the real standout window kicks off on Saturday the 12th. That afternoon we get a clean-up with light east-nor’easterly winds turning cross-offshore, and the swell settles to about 5 ft from the SSW on a solid 14-second period. This is a proper groundswell, long period, so it’ll wrap into the reef and point setup nicely. The combined energy is moderate (1190). It’s a good time for intermediates.
Then Sunday the 13th morning is the absolute gem of the outlook. Glassy conditions, mate. No wind, dead calm. The swell drops a bit to 4 ft from the SSW, but the period stretches out to 12 seconds, still a nice long period groundswell. Combined energy is still decent at 726. For a reef and point break, this is about as clean as it gets. You’ll have some lovely, lined-up waves. Just be aware it can get a little inconsistent now and then, and crowds are possible.
From Monday the 14th onward, the swell picks up again, but the winds turn cross-onshore, so quality drops. There’s some bigger energy mid-week – on Monday morning we’re looking at 6 ft from the SSW on a 16-second period with combined energy of 1976, but with light cross-onshore bumps. It’s a maybe. By Tuesday the 15th, the swell pushes up to 8 ft from the SSW, which is pushing the limit for most – better left for the experienced crew, but the wind starts getting messy again.
Later in the second week, around Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th, there’s still some size around 8 ft to 8 ft from the SSW, but it’s choppy. Nothing to get too excited about unless you’re after a bit of a wrestle.
Bottom line: if you’re keen, point your board at Sunday morning the 13th – that’s the one. Glassy, clean, and lined up. Saturday afternoon the 12th is a close second. The rest of the run is either blown out or just too average.
Stay salty,
Rusty
